Purpose

The UN Peacemaker Database of Peace Agreements is a reference tool providing peacemaking professionals with over 750 documents that can be understood broadly as peace agreements and related material.

Content

The database includes formal peace agreements and sub-agreements, as well as more informal agreements and documents such as declarations, communiqués, joint public statements resulting from informal talks, agreed accounts of meetings between parties, exchanges of letters and key outcome documents of some international or regional conferences. The legal status of such documents can vary. The database also contains selected legislation, acts and decrees that constitute an agreement between parties and/or were the outcome of peace negotiations. A number of key UN Security Council Resolutions and decisions of the International Court of Justice have also been included. In addition, the database contains selected peace proposals that marked significant phases of a negotiation process but were not ultimately accepted by all relevant parties. Such proposals are indicated with an asterix (*) in the title.

The inclusion of an agreement in this database does not imply that it was implemented or that the peace process itself was successful.
